  2. Graham's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_law

    Rate 1 is the rate of effusion for the first gas. (volume or number of moles per unit time). Rate 2 is the rate of effusion for the second gas. M 1 is the molar mass of gas 1 M 2 is the molar mass of gas 2. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion or of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

  3. Péclet number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Péclet_number

    It is defined to be the ratio of the rate of advection of a physical quantity by the flow to the rate of diffusion of the same quantity driven by an appropriate gradient. In the context of species or mass transfer, the Péclet number is the product of the Reynolds number and the Schmidt number (Re × Sc).

  4. Isothermal transformation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_transformation...

    The rate of nucleation increases and the rate of microconstituent growth decreases as the temperature decreases from the liquidus temperature reaching a maximum at the bay or nose of the curve. Thereafter, the decrease in diffusion rate due to low temperature offsets the effect of increased driving force due to greater difference in free energy .

  5. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    The testing medium (liquid or gas) is situated in the inner white pipe and the permeate is collected in the space between the pipe and the glass wall. It is transported by a sweep gas (connected to the upper and lower joint) to an analysing device. Permeation can also be measured through intermittent contact.

  6. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    The rate of diffusion of A, N A, depend on concentration gradient and the average velocity with which the molecules of A moves in the x direction. This relationship is expressed by Fick's law N A = − D A B d C A d x {\displaystyle N_{A}=-D_{AB}{\frac {dC_{A}}{dx}}} (only applicable for no bulk motion)

  7. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    Consider a gas in cylinder with a free floating piston resting on top of a volume of gas V 1 at a temperature T 1. If the gas is heated so that the temperature of the gas goes up to T 2 while the piston is allowed to rise to V 2 as in Figure 1, then the pressure is kept the same in this process due to the free floating piston being allowed to ...

    Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia combined form the third-largest natural-gas-producing region in the entire world behind only the remainder of the United States and Russia.

  9. Mass diffusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_diffusivity

    The higher the diffusivity (of one substance with respect to another), the faster they diffuse into each other. Typically, a compound's diffusion coefficient is ~10,000× as great in air as in water. Carbon dioxide in air has a diffusion coefficient of 16 mm 2 /s, and in water its diffusion coefficient is 0.0016 mm 2 /s. [1] [2]
